We’ve seen some complaints about umpire Phil Cuzzi before — remember Max Scherzer’s ejection? How about that weird balk call? And that time he baited Gabe Kapler into an ejection?
This one? A very questionable set of calls on the very same batter in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 9-8 win over the Minnesota Twins. Alex Kirilloff was at the plate and saw two pitches that should have been either outside or inside from reliever Phil Bickford. But nope! Cuzzi called them strikes.
Heck, the Dodgers’ announcers were stunned by the calls!
Check out the calls and the reaction from both the booth and from some irate fans:
